Village Craft Connection December: Perfume and Sugar Scrub Workshop

Alison Peters, founder and owner of The Lavender Sachet, will take participants through the step-by-step process of creating a beautiful rollerball perfume and a sugar scrub. Rollerball perfumes are great to keep at your bedside, your desk at work, or to carry in your purse for a quick pick-me-up. And sugar scrubs are a fantastic way to keep your skin super soft.

Workshop guests will get to sample and pick their own scents to customize one rollerball perfume and one sugar scrub per person. Alison will guide everyone on the best scents to blend together. You will also be able to add dried local flowers to the perfume vessel.

Once scents are selected, you’ll choose base oils: sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, and avocado oil.* Workshop guests will receive labels and name their custom-made perfume rollerballs.

At the end of the workshop, you will take home one custom created perfume rollerball and one sugar scrub! The workshop takes place Tuesday, Dec. 3, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Fairfax Rec Center. It is open to the public. For information and to sign up, email villageoffairfax@gmail.com

*Note: Please do not use these base oils (sweet almond, jojoba, grapeseed, avocado) if you are allergic to their ingredients. Alison can plan in advance for you to make a perfume spray using witch hazel and distilled water. Please email thelavendersachet@gmail.com in advance of the workshop to discuss. Thank you!
